More than three coins in the fountain

This iron cellar door is covered with a pattern of Round purple vault lights, glass lenses to let in light from above. Unfortunately a missing lens lets in more than light. And when there is a hole in the street, then sure enough a cigarette butt will be there.

As of December 2023, the effort had stalled and was shut down. Dreams still on the horizon.

Gonna leave this city, got to get away? Exactly where, you cannot say? Well, pile the friends into the pale green VW Westfalia Type 2 Microbus, my friend! Throw in the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction, and get going up the country where the water tastes like wine! Just make sure to fill the gas tank before you go, man.
